My mom made this lasagna for special occasions, such as birthdays. When she passed, I inherited her cookbooks-tucked inside one of them, I found this recipe folded into a letter she wrote to me while I was stationed overseas. It's a hearty, rich dish that reminds me of home. -Janet Wing, Minot, North Dakota

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the lasagna will taste. Use high-quality ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and will make the lasagna difficult to slice.
  • Use a good sauce: The sauce is one of the most important parts of the lasagna. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency. A good sauce will help to bind the lasagna together and make it taste delicious.
  • Layer the lasagna properly: When assembling the lasagna, be sure to layer it properly. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, then a layer of cheese, and so on. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
  • Bake the lasagna at the right temperature: Bake the lasagna at the temperature specified in the recipe. If you bake it at too high of a temperature, it will burn. If you bake it at too low of a temperature, it will not cook properly.

Conclusion:

White lasagna is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a white lasagna that is sure to impress your friends and family.
